Verapamil is an L-type calcium channel blocker and adrenergic receptor antagonist commonly used in studies of hypertension, arrhythmias and angina pectoris[1].
Verapamil (5µM-5mM; 1h) affects human erythrocytes, where the normal disc-like shape of the erythrocytes changes to oropharyngeal cysts, small cells, spherical oropharyngeal cysts and haemolysis occurs at a concentration of Verapamil of 5mM. As the concentration of Verapamil was increased from 5µM, the morphology of the erythrocytes changed [2].The survival and proliferation rates of PC-3, A549, and COLO 205 cells were decreased after treatment with Verapamil (50–200μM; 6–48h)[3] .
In the neuroinflammatory model, pretreatment with Verapamil (10mg/kg; ip; 7days) in the morning reduced CD11b+, CD68+ and Iba1 by 54.33%, 24.68% and 41.33%, respectively. The above markers were also reduced in evening pretreated mice by 41.01%, 18.3% and 24.06%, respectively [4].Long-term administration of Verapamil (200mg/kg; po; 10weeks) to mice rescued the lives of mice with myotonic dystrophy type 1 and improved myogenesis, muscle stiffness and respiratory function [5].Verapamil (1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10mg/kg; ip; 48h) impaired memory consolidation in a parameter- and dose-dependent manner in an absent-field habituation task in rats [6].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | SHSY5Y cells |
Preparation Method | SHSY5Y cells were seeded into 24-well plates . 2% FBS medium containing Verapamil at a concentration range from 1nM to 0.5mM was added to the cells for 1, 6, 24 and 48h. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT reduction assay. |
Reaction Conditions | Verapamil: 1nM -0.5mM; 6, 24 and 348h. |
Applications | A highly statistical reduction in cell viability was observed under 0.5mM Verapamil treatment and was still not recovered after 48h; the other tested concentrations failed to produce any significant effects after 1, 6, and 24h. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Myotonic dystrophy mouse model |
Preparation Method | Mice were provided Verapamil via ingestion of Nutra-Gel Complete Nutrition food to a final dose of 200mg/kg/day Verapamil. Mice that did not receive verapamil, were provided Nutra-Gel Complete Nutrition food that had 1mL ddH2O added to serve as a vehicle control. |
Dosage form | Verapamil (200mg/kg; po; 10weeks) |
Applications | Long-term administration of the calcium channel blocker Verapamilto mice rescued the life of mice with myotonic dystrophy type 1 and improved force production, muscle stiffness, and respiratory function. |

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
